After the attack by the War King’s envoys that suddenly appeared, Sieg and Anima defeated Eta and Theta, and Sigma, a Baron-level high-ranked Demon, started to break his silence.
And then, the ultimate idiot appeared as our helper and stopped him.
[Aren’t your treatment to me too bad!?]
Don’t send tsukkomis to my inner monologue, idiot……
Anyway, I’m grateful that Alice came to our rescue.
It’s only my guess based on her actions so far, but I think she’s pretty strong.
[Now then, now then, where’s Kaito-san’s enemy?]
[You don’t even know what’s going on here!?]
[No, I don’t~~ To be honest, I was already over there waiting for the “cute furry to make her entrance”…… But when I was thinking of a cool way to make my entrance, I was surprised to see the whole situation change!]
[……………….]

I don’t know if we can really rely on this woman……
Still in her stuffed costume, Alice looked around and when she noticed Sigma’s presence, she tilted her head…… no, she tilted her whole body.
[……Kaito-san, isn’t that a High-ranked Demon?]
[He’s apparently a Baron-level high-ranked Demon……]
[Ah, is that so. A Baron-level huh, then I’m relieved.]
[……The clown over there, what the heck are you trying to say……]
Hearing Alice’s words she said in a dopey tone while popping her stuffed costume’s large hands together, Sigma’s expression changed to one of clear displeasure.
I mean, Alice, he just met you and he immediately calls you a clown……
[No, look, a high-ranked Demon about the Count-ranked would really be monsters…… So it would be a tough fight~~~ is what I thought…… but I’m glad that I’m just fighting a “weakling”.]
[……You…… Are you mocking me?]

Hearing Alice’s carefree words, his vein popped out on Sigma’s forehead.
Even so, he still doesn’t immediately slash our way, is it because of his pride as a warrior, or is it because Alice isn’t in any stance yet?
Against such a Sigma, Alice leisurely turned around and took a step forward…… and crumbled on her knees.
[Guhhh……]
[Alice!?]
What!? Did something happen!?
I can’t really see any of their attacks, so I wouldn’t know if he attacked already……
[W- Why are my old wounds, at a time like this……]
[Old wounds?]
I thought she had been hit by an invisible, swift attack, but apparently, that’s not the case.

Still lying on the ground, Alice puts her hand out to the size and makes a sphere the size of a baseball appear.
[A- At a time like this…… if I only I could have “sold this Newest Portable Illumination Magic Tool for 1000R”, I could easily defeat that guy……]
[……………..]
[Sh*t, I can’t believe I had to watch you get beaten up, Kaito-san!]
……This f*cking bitch.
She exactly knows what was going on, but she’s still messing around.
I silently approached Alice, took the magic tool from her hand and placed a silver coin in its stead.
Thereupon, Alice stood up as if nothing had happened.
[I won’t allow you to hurt Kaito-san, even if the Gods themselves allow it, I won’t allow it! Come at me, you servant!!!]
[…………………]

Arehh? Alice came here to rescue me, right?
But what is this, this budding feeling of mine…… This feeling of wanting to smack her in the head with all my might……
[Are you finished with your farce? Well then…… die!]
[Wha!?]
At that moment, Sigma had already approached right in front of Alice in an instant.
Thereupon, a high-speed strike released from his iaido stance cut Alice’s body in half diagonally from below.
[Alice!?]
[Aliiicccceeee!!!]
[……Unnn?]
Seeing that, I reflexively shouted, but for some reason, another voice shouted along from beside me as well.
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[How could this be, for that Alice to be easily defeated…… This is the appearance of an incredibly powerful enemy! Kaito-sa—— Ouch!?]
[……What the heck are you doing there……]
Before I knew it, Alice had taken off her costume and was beside me in her opera mask, messing around as if it’s obvious, so I struck my fist on her head.
Alice rubbed her head and opened her mouth in a somewhat dumbfounded manner.
[But~~ That guy was so slow…… I was bored with waiting until he finally came over here, so I went around and joined the spectator’s side for a bit.]
[……I’m slow? Now you said it, clown.]
[That’s right~~ I’m a clown after all, and I can’t get excited without any fanfares.]
While muttering to Sigma, who has clearly become more irritated and regained his stance, Alice takes out a pocket watch from her pocket while still looking carefree.
[Three…… Two……]
[You, what in the world are you—— Wha!?]

Immediately after Sigma dubiously looked at her bizarre action, the remnants of the stuffed costume lying at Sigma’s feet flashed with light.
[One…… Boom.]
[ ! ? ]
Thereupon, after a thunderous sound resounded, a flash of light engulfed Sigma’s body.
[F*cking clown! You and your little tricks!]
Sigma shouts evasively as he dispels the smoke caused by the explosion.
And then, a few knives come flying in his direction, cleaving through the smoke.
[Tsk!]
However, Sigma is a Baron-level high-ranked Demon, quickly knocking away the knives that flew at him.
A moment after he was about to move away from the smoke, knocking away all the knives sent his way, Sigma heard a small wind noise and moved his sword on the back of his head.

[Oya? I was blocked huh.]
[……Don’t look down on me. (I can’t feel this clown’s presence at all? Is she a hidden warrior? It would be bad to fight her while visibility is poor.)]
Sigma moves away from the smokes, knocking down the knife swung away from his blind spot and keeping Alice in check as her blades return back to her.
Towards such a Sigma, Alice approaches her from the front without any tricks, unlike she did before.
[Got you!]
[Whoa there.]
[What!?]
As Sigma calmly swings his sword in a sideways slash toward Alice, who was charging at him with a fast, but filled with openings charge, but she avoids by sinking her body low…… down on the ground.
She then flips her body around with one hand on the ground, and from that position, she unleashes a kick at Sigma’s face.
It’s a very tricky move, but Sigma anticipated the trajectory of her kick and quickly avoided it…… but just as he was about to do so, a knife planted on Alice’s shoes popped out.
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[ ! ? ]
[Fyuuu~~ Even this attack only made a scratch huh, you have a great reaction time!]
Even the strike with her hidden knife didn’t result in a direct hit, and Alice quickly rotated her body to regain her stance and stepped away from him.
With Sigma’s physical ability, it was possible to chase after her, but Sigma didn’t choose to do so, but stood there and sharply stared at Alice.
[……You’re quite a versatile fellow huh.]
[Why, thank you.]
[…………… (She’s precisely aiming at my vitals. Moreover, it looked really polished…… An assassin?)]
Sigma was measuring Alice’s strength in that exchange just now.
Her speed was fast, but her power, not so much. An opponent that was light on her body and could unleash tricky attacks……
[I have a clear understanding of your power already. I see, you are indeed very fast for a human…… but you are no match for me. The next exchange will be your death.]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[You don’t sound convincing with that cut on your face. Or rather, you’re just like a fool.]
[You…… fine. This is the end of the needless talk. The speed that you’re so confident of…… shows your limits as a Human. Let me show you… the fastest slash.]
With that said, Sigma deeply leans down his body, and takes an iaido stance while boosting himself with his magic power.
A super-fast strike released from the physical ability of a Baron-level high-ranked Demon, a strike that is far beyond the level of human perception anymore, that’s what Sigma thought would settle this matter
.
And then, the distance of about five paces was closed down in an instant, and a strike that would reap away Alice’s life—— didn’t happen.
[……Wh……at?]
[Did I even say that was my top speed?]
Yes, when Sigma was about to move to attack, Alice had already landed in front of Sigma…… and stomped on the hilt of his sword.
This time, Alice leisurely swings the knife in her hand against Sigma, who looked at her, astonished.
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[Guh!? Sh*t!]
[……Was it too shallow?]
Sigma leaps backwards to dodge the slash aiming for his neck, but he can’t completely avoid it, and blood flows from his neck.
[Your premise is wrong to begin with. Humans are indeed inferior to most Demons in terms of physical ability if you just look at them as a race. However, that doesn’t mean that there are no Humans who can defeat Demons~~]
As Alice speaks as she flippantly laughs at him, Sieglinde, who was watching this situation which looks like she’s completely overpowering this Baron-level high-ranked Demon with Kaito from a distance, opens her mouth in astonishment.
[How…… strong.]
[Sieg-san, is that magic?]
[Yes, it’s probably magic that only increases her speed to the limit…… But at such a tremendous speed, it shouldn’t be possible to control it with the kinetic vision of the Humans but……]
[But just now, Alice……]
[Yes, I can’t believe it. She’s…… probably stronger than Lili. She’s clearly beyond the limits of humanity.]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
Alice’s combat prowess was unbelievable, even to Sieglinde, who had a large amount of experience as a warrior.
From the tip of his astonished gaze, Alice quietly muttered to Sigma.
[There sure are lots of high-ranking demons that have these so-called “peerage ranks”. People like you who’re overconfident in their own abilities…… who never doubted that their own ability would be surpassed by a Human…… makes a really good prey.]
[……Indeed, I need to change my perception of you. You are strong…… Anyone who can’t keep their head straight would be no match for you.]
[That’s right~~]
[However, you talked too much. And now, I’ve finally calmed myself down.]
It could be said that Sigma had been caught off guard because he thought of Alice as an inferior opponent just now…… and that last exchange and Alice’s words helped him regain his composure.
Considering the point of pure combat power, Alice was originally greatly inferior to Sigma except for her speed.
If a solid attack was made on her while he remains calm and alert, it would be difficult for her to win.
However, hearing Sigma’s words, Alice doesn’t seem to be flustered at all, as a smile appears on her mouth.
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[There’s no problem…… “It’s already over” after all.]
[What did you say?]
[……Since we’re at it, how about I tell you what they call me “over there”.]
While saying that, Alice throws the knife on her feet.
Thereupon, Sigma’s feet……the shadows under them turned into countless spear-like shapes and skewered Sigma’s body.
[Ghaa!? Haaaahh!?]
[……Shadow Edge…… Well, you don’t really have to remember it.]
As the skewered Sigma falls down on the ground, she turns away while muttering with disinterest.
Her opponent’s a Baron-level high-ranked Demon…… He should be one of the high ranks in the Demon Realm, but in the end, Alice held the pace from start to finish, and he was defeated without being able to make a single move.
[Well~~ That was quite a formidable opponent.]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[……You were actually amazing huh, Alice.]
[Eh? What’s with that? It kinda feels like you’re really surprised though!? What did you eve think of me of all these times!?]
[Just an idiot.]
[Kaito-san, aren’t you just being too harsh on me!?]
[That guy, is he dead……?]
[No, I made sure that I wouldn’t hit his vitals. Otherwise, I’m sure Kaito-san will be angry at me~~]
Hearing the words she said with a smile, I let out a sigh of relief.
It may seem like a naive idea to do for people who came to attack us, but as expected, I don’t like seeing someone die.
[Well, we just need to find out why they suddenly attacked Kaito-san……]
[Alice?]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[Ahh~ Kaito-san, is it alright for me to go home after all? As expected, I can’t beat that one……]
[Eh?]
Alice’s expression, which had seemed carefree until now, disappeared, and I could even see a streak of sweat on her forehead.
Feeling uneasy about her unusual appearance, I moved my gaze in the direction Alice was looking at.
Then, from the end of the road, there was someone walking slowly towards us.
A huge old man who must be well over two meters tall, wearing heavy-looking armor.
He had a huge axe in his hand, which combined with the sound of his clanging armor, gave off an intense sense of intimation towards us.
[Geez, I even told them not to rush in acquiring achievements and not to misread Megiddo-sama’s will……]
[No way…… Could he be….. the “Ironblood Bacchus”……]
Seeing the old man whose calm voice shows his deep experience, Sieg-san mutters while trembling.
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
Ironblood Bacchus…… Looking at Alice and Sieg-san’s reactions, I could understand that he will be a tremendous opponent.
Perhaps sensing my doubts who this old man is, Alice nervously answered.
[There are five Count-level high-ranked Demons serving War King-sama…… and each of the five generals under War King-sama…… to put it bluntly, were monsters.]
[……so they’re dangerous opponents huh……]
[They’re not just dangerous. High-ranking demons from the Count-level and above them were truly exceptional. They have the power to wipe out an entire city……]
[ ! ? ]
A person who is so powerful that he could even wipe out an entire city…… No matter how I think of it, he’s a dangerous person.
Within that atmosphere filled with heavy tension, Bacchus turns to me with a wry smile on his face.
[Miyama Kaito…… I’m sorry. My subordinates were rude to you.]
[……Eh?]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[Good gracious, it’s troubling how youngsters these days are hot-blooded…… On behalf of my subordinates, please accept my apology.]
[Ah, no……]
Seeing him not looking particularly dangerous at all, I hurriedly nodded at Bacchus’s words, who spoke to me as if we were just making small talk.
[Geez, no matter how many barriers there are that can block Death King-sama and World King-sama’s detection……. If they harm you, they will be killed afterwards, but they don’t know that…… I should have warned them a bit more.]
[…………….]
[……However, the fact that it happened can’t be helped. I know that it’s our side’s fault because they did as they pleased but….. I’m sorry, I can’t just go back after having my subordinates be defeated.]
[ ! ? ]
Magic power like surging winds released from Bacchus’s body as he slowly muttered.
Advertisements
[I’m sorry, shall I have you fight against me as well…… Warriors of Humanity.]
[……Kaito-san, this is bad. There’s no way we can win. Can’t you somehow use your lucky power to call for a super-powerful reinforcement or anyone like that?]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[If I could do that, I would have done it by now.]
Seeing Bacchus, who is easily holding that large axe, Alice sounds flustered, while Sieg-san and Anima stiffened because of nervousness.
The other party is an existence that is so powerful that it can wipe out a city…… There’s no we could do anything against him.
And although I wasn’t conscious of my actions, before I knew it, I had stepped in front of the three of them, protecting them behind my back.
I’m not sure I could ever come up with anything to defeat him…… but I didn’t want the three of them to get hurt.
However, seeing my actions, Bacchus looked somewhat impressed.
[Hoohhh…… I thought you were just some youngster, but for you to still advance before my magic power, you have quite the spunk in you huh. And, it is as you perceived…… I would certainly be troubled if you were to stand before me.]
[………………]
I didn’t know what he was talking about.
I didn’t come forward because I had such ideas, but Bacchus was telling me that he would be troubled…… and that I had perceived something…..
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[Megiddo-sama told me to bring you to him…… but he hasn’t told me that I may harm you. If I harm you, and do something against Megiddo-sama’s will…… I will be killed. That is to say, I can’t attack you……]
[…………..]
[However, if I were to follow his will…… It will be fine for me to attack anyone aside from you. Good grief, it’s quite tough being old but…… I guess I’ll have to be nimble and quickly slip through you.]
[ ! ? ]
I thought I had seen a ray of hope, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, as Bacchus carefreely walked towards us.
The other party is a Count-level Demon…… He’s probably much faster than that Sigma earlier.
I can’t see any carelessness or openings at all…… There’s really nothing I can do about him……
[Everyone, run……]
[I will have to decline.]
Advertisements
[Even though it’s master’s order, that’s something I won’t follow.]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[Then, good work out there……. Ah, no, it’s a lie. I will stay, yes.]
I was ready to give up and be taken to War King-sama, and just let the three of them run away but…… They refused. No, there was that one who tried to leave normally, but after Sieg-san and Anima glared at her, she flusteredly stood in front of me.
[Kaito-san’s lucky power didn’t make explosions yet huh……. I guess I can only prepare myself.]
And now, Bacchus and the three of them…… Just as the unwinnable battle was about to begin, a quiet mutter rang out in the silence.
[……I see, calling it lucky power may really be quite fitting. I was just passing by this area by chance, but I may actually be led here by Kaito-sama’s summon.]
[……Eh?]
[Mhmm……]
Hearing that familiar voice resounded, before I knew it, a shadow stood in front of us.
She, who seems to be on her way home from shopping and leisurely standing in front of us, holding a paper bag, quietly spoke to Bacchus.
[As you may know, as a maid who spends every moment in accordance with her duties, I hate doing useless stuff. Therefore, I will only give you one warning.]

[……Ein…… -san?]
[……I suggest you surrender.]
Dear Mom, Dad—– It’s often said that lightning strikes twice, and this time, a Count-level high-ranked Demon appeared, and it certainly was a desperate situation. However, I guess luck still hasn’t given up on us——– As the strongest (maid) appeared.
Spoiler alert, the maid wins.
Maids are the strongest profession in the otherworld after all.

[……You were actually amazing huh, Alice.]
[Eh? What’s with that? It kinda feels like you’re really surprised though!? What did you eve think of me of all these times!?]
[Just an idiot.]
[Kaito-san, aren’t you just being too harsh on me!?]
[That guy, is he dead……?]
[No, I made sure that I wouldn’t hit his vitals. Otherwise, I’m sure Kaito-san will be angry at me~~]
Hearing the words she said with a smile, I let out a sigh of relief.
It may seem like a naive idea to do for people who came to attack us, but as expected, I don’t like seeing someone die.
[Well, we just need to find out why they suddenly attacked Kaito-san……]
[Alice?]

[Ahh~ Kaito-san, is it alright for me to go home after all? As expected, I can’t beat that one……]
[Eh?]
Alice’s expression, which had seemed carefree until now, disappeared, and I could even see a streak of sweat on her forehead.
Feeling uneasy about her unusual appearance, I moved my gaze in the direction Alice was looking at.
Then, from the end of the road, there was someone walking slowly towards us.
A huge old man who must be well over two meters tall, wearing heavy-looking armor.
He had a huge axe in his hand, which combined with the sound of his clanging armor, gave off an intense sense of intimation towards us.
[Geez, I even told them not to rush in acquiring achievements and not to misread Megiddo-sama’s will……]
[No way…… Could he be….. the “Ironblood Bacchus”……]
Seeing the old man whose calm voice shows his deep experience, Sieg-san mutters while trembling.

Ironblood Bacchus…… Looking at Alice and Sieg-san’s reactions, I could understand that he will be a tremendous opponent.
Perhaps sensing my doubts who this old man is, Alice nervously answered.
[There are five Count-level high-ranked Demons serving War King-sama…… and each of the five generals under War King-sama…… to put it bluntly, were monsters.]
[……so they’re dangerous opponents huh……]
[They’re not just dangerous. High-ranking demons from the Count-level and above them were truly exceptional. They have the power to wipe out an entire city……]
[ ! ? ]
A person who is so powerful that he could even wipe out an entire city…… No matter how I think of it, he’s a dangerous person.
Within that atmosphere filled with heavy tension, Bacchus turns to me with a wry smile on his face.
[Miyama Kaito…… I’m sorry. My subordinates were rude to you.]
[……Eh?]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[Good gracious, it’s troubling how youngsters these days are hot-blooded…… On behalf of my subordinates, please accept my apology.]
[Ah, no……]
Seeing him not looking particularly dangerous at all, I hurriedly nodded at Bacchus’s words, who spoke to me as if we were just making small talk.
[Geez, no matter how many barriers there are that can block Death King-sama and World King-sama’s detection……. If they harm you, they will be killed afterwards, but they don’t know that…… I should have warned them a bit more.]
[…………….]
[……However, the fact that it happened can’t be helped. I know that it’s our side’s fault because they did as they pleased but….. I’m sorry, I can’t just go back after having my subordinates be defeated.]
[ ! ? ]
Magic power like surging winds released from Bacchus’s body as he slowly muttered.
Advertisements
[I’m sorry, shall I have you fight against me as well…… Warriors of Humanity.]
[……Kaito-san, this is bad. There’s no way we can win. Can’t you somehow use your lucky power to call for a super-powerful reinforcement or anyone like that?]

[If I could do that, I would have done it by now.]
Seeing Bacchus, who is easily holding that large axe, Alice sounds flustered, while Sieg-san and Anima stiffened because of nervousness.
The other party is an existence that is so powerful that it can wipe out a city…… There’s no we could do anything against him.
And although I wasn’t conscious of my actions, before I knew it, I had stepped in front of the three of them, protecting them behind my back.
I’m not sure I could ever come up with anything to defeat him…… but I didn’t want the three of them to get hurt.
However, seeing my actions, Bacchus looked somewhat impressed.
[Hoohhh…… I thought you were just some youngster, but for you to still advance before my magic power, you have quite the spunk in you huh. And, it is as you perceived…… I would certainly be troubled if you were to stand before me.]
[………………]
I didn’t know what he was talking about.
I didn’t come forward because I had such ideas, but Bacchus was telling me that he would be troubled…… and that I had perceived something…..
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[Megiddo-sama told me to bring you to him…… but he hasn’t told me that I may harm you. If I harm you, and do something against Megiddo-sama’s will…… I will be killed. That is to say, I can’t attack you……]
[…………..]
[However, if I were to follow his will…… It will be fine for me to attack anyone aside from you. Good grief, it’s quite tough being old but…… I guess I’ll have to be nimble and quickly slip through you.]
[ ! ? ]
I thought I had seen a ray of hope, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, as Bacchus carefreely walked towards us.
The other party is a Count-level Demon…… He’s probably much faster than that Sigma earlier.
I can’t see any carelessness or openings at all…… There’s really nothing I can do about him……
[Everyone, run……]
[I will have to decline.]
Advertisements
[Even though it’s master’s order, that’s something I won’t follow.]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[Then, good work out there……. Ah, no, it’s a lie. I will stay, yes.]
I was ready to give up and be taken to War King-sama, and just let the three of them run away but…… They refused. No, there was that one who tried to leave normally, but after Sieg-san and Anima glared at her, she flusteredly stood in front of me.
[Kaito-san’s lucky power didn’t make explosions yet huh……. I guess I can only prepare myself.]
And now, Bacchus and the three of them…… Just as the unwinnable battle was about to begin, a quiet mutter rang out in the silence.
[……I see, calling it lucky power may really be quite fitting. I was just passing by this area by chance, but I may actually be led here by Kaito-sama’s summon.]
[……Eh?]
[Mhmm……]
Hearing that familiar voice resounded, before I knew it, a shadow stood in front of us.
She, who seems to be on her way home from shopping and leisurely standing in front of us, holding a paper bag, quietly spoke to Bacchus.
[As you may know, as a maid who spends every moment in accordance with her duties, I hate doing useless stuff. Therefore, I will only give you one warning.]
For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com
[……Ein…… -san?]
[……I suggest you surrender.]
Dear Mom, Dad—– It’s often said that lightning strikes twice, and this time, a Count-level high-ranked Demon appeared, and it certainly was a desperate situation. However, I guess luck still hasn’t given up on us——– As the strongest (maid) appeared.
Spoiler alert, the maid wins.
Maids are the strongest profession in the otherworld after all.
T/N: 10/13
Lol, beware~ The author gave a spoiler~~
After the attack by the War King's envoys that suddenly appeared, Sieg and Anima defeated Eta and Theta, and Sigma, a Baron-level high-ranked Demon, started to break his silence.And then, the ultimate idiot appeared as our helper and stopped him.Aren't your treatment to me too bad!?Don't send tsukkomis to my inner monologue, idiotAnyway, I'm grateful that Alice came to our rescue.It's only my guess based on her actions so far, but I think she's pretty strong.Now then, now then, where's Kaito-san's enemy?You don't even know what's going on here!?No, I don't~~ To be honest, I was already over there waiting for the cute furry to make her entrance But when I was thinking of a cool way to make my entrance, I was surprised to see the whole situation change!.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comI don't know if we can really rely on this womanStill in her stuffed costume, Alice looked around and when she noticed Sigma's presence, she tilted her head no, she tilted her whole body.Kaito-san, isn't that a High-ranked Demon?He's apparently a Baron-level high-ranked DemonAh, is that so. A Baron-level huh, then I'm relieved.The clown over there, what the heck are you trying to sayHearing Alice's words she said in a dopey tone while popping her stuffed costume's large hands together, Sigma's expression changed to one of clear displeasure.I mean, Alice, he just met you and he immediately calls you a clownNo, look, a high-ranked Demon about the Count-ranked would really be monsters So it would be a tough fight~~~ is what I thought but I'm glad that I'm just fighting a weakling.You Are you mocking me?For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comHearing Alice's carefree words, his vein popped out on Sigma's forehead.Even so, he still doesn't immediately slash our way, is it because of his pride as a warrior, or is it because Alice isn't in any stance yet?Against such a Sigma, Alice leisurely turned around and took a step forward and crumbled on her knees.GuhhhAlice!?What!? Did something happen!?I can't really see any of their attacks, so I wouldn't know if he attacked alreadyW- Why are my old wounds, at a time like thisOld wounds?I thought she had been hit by an invisible, swift attack, but apparently, that's not the case.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comStill lying on the ground, Alice puts her hand out to the size and makes a sphere the size of a baseball appear.A- At a time like this if I only I could have sold this Newest Portable Illumination Magic Tool for 1000R, I could easily defeat that guy..Sh*t, I can't believe I had to watch you get beaten up, Kaito-san!This f*cking bitch.She exactly knows what was going on, but she's still messing around.I silently approached Alice, took the magic tool from her hand and placed a silver coin in its stead.Thereupon, Alice stood up as if nothing had happened.I won't allow you to hurt Kaito-san, even if the Gods themselves allow it, I won't allow it! Come at me, you servant!!!For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comArehh? Alice came here to rescue me, right?But what is this, this budding feeling of mine This feeling of wanting to smack her in the head with all my mightAre you finished with your farce? Well then die!Wha!?At that moment, Sigma had already approached right in front of Alice in an instant.Thereupon, a high-speed strike released from his iaido stance cut Alice's body in half diagonally from below.Alice!?Aliiicccceeee!!!Unnn?Seeing that, I reflexively shouted, but for some reason, another voice shouted along from beside me as well.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comHow could this be, for that Alice to be easily defeated This is the appearance of an incredibly powerful enemy! Kaito-sa Ouch!?What the heck are you doing thereBefore I knew it, Alice had taken off her costume and was beside me in her opera mask, messing around as if it's obvious, so I struck my fist on her head.Alice rubbed her head and opened her mouth in a somewhat dumbfounded manner.But~~ That guy was so slow I was bored with waiting until he finally came over here, so I went around and joined the spectator's side for a bit.I'm slow? Now you said it, clown.That's right~~ I'm a clown after all, and I can't get excited without any fanfares.While muttering to Sigma, who has clearly become more irritated and regained his stance, Alice takes out a pocket watch from her pocket while still looking carefree.Three TwoYou, what in the world are you Wha!?For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comImmediately after Sigma dubiously looked at her bizarre action, the remnants of the stuffed costume lying at Sigma's feet flashed with light.One Boom. ! ? Thereupon, after a thunderous sound resounded, a flash of light engulfed Sigma's body.F*cking clown! You and your little tricks!Sigma shouts evasively as he dispels the smoke caused by the explosion.And then, a few knives come flying in his direction, cleaving through the smoke.Tsk!However, Sigma is a Baron-level high-ranked Demon, quickly knocking away the knives that flew at him.A moment after he was about to move away from the smoke, knocking away all the knives sent his way, Sigma heard a small wind noise and moved his sword on the back of his head.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comOya? I was blocked huh.Don't look down on me. I can't feel this clown's presence at all? Is she a hidden warrior? It would be bad to fight her while visibility is poor.Sigma moves away from the smokes, knocking down the knife swung away from his blind spot and keeping Alice in check as her blades return back to her.Towards such a Sigma, Alice approaches her from the front without any tricks, unlike she did before.Got you!Whoa there.What!?As Sigma calmly swings his sword in a sideways slash toward Alice, who was charging at him with a fast, but filled with openings charge, but she avoids by sinking her body low down on the ground.She then flips her body around with one hand on the ground, and from that position, she unleashes a kick at Sigma's face.It's a very tricky move, but Sigma anticipated the trajectory of her kick and quickly avoided it but just as he was about to do so, a knife planted on Alice's shoes popped out.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.com ! ? Fyuuu~~ Even this attack only made a scratch huh, you have a great reaction time!Even the strike with her hidden knife didn't result in a direct hit, and Alice quickly rotated her body to regain her stance and stepped away from him.With Sigma's physical ability, it was possible to chase after her, but Sigma didn't choose to do so, but stood there and sharply stared at Alice.You're quite a versatile fellow huh.Why, thank you. She's precisely aiming at my vitals. Moreover, it looked really polished An assassin?Sigma was measuring Alice's strength in that exchange just now.Her speed was fast, but her power, not so much. An opponent that was light on her body and could unleash tricky attacksI have a clear understanding of your power already. I see, you are indeed very fast for a human but you are no match for me. The next exchange will be your death.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comYou don't sound convincing with that cut on your face. Or rather, you're just like a fool.You fine. This is the end of the needless talk. The speed that you're so confident of shows your limits as a Human. Let me show you the fastest slash.With that said, Sigma deeply leans down his body, and takes an iaido stance while boosting himself with his magic power.A super-fast strike released from the physical ability of a Baron-level high-ranked Demon, a strike that is far beyond the level of human perception anymore, that's what Sigma thought would settle this matter.And then, the distance of about five paces was closed down in an instant, and a strike that would reap away Alice's life didn't happen.What?Did I even say that was my top speed?Yes, when Sigma was about to move to attack, Alice had already landed in front of Sigma and stomped on the hilt of his sword.This time, Alice leisurely swings the knife in her hand against Sigma, who looked at her, astonished.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comGuh!? Sh*t!Was it too shallow?Sigma leaps backwards to dodge the slash aiming for his neck, but he can't completely avoid it, and blood flows from his neck.Your premise is wrong to begin with. Humans are indeed inferior to most Demons in terms of physical ability if you just look at them as a race. However, that doesn't mean that there are no Humans who can defeat Demons~~As Alice speaks as she flippantly laughs at him, Sieglinde, who was watching this situation which looks like she's completely overpowering this Baron-level high-ranked Demon with Kaito from a distance, opens her mouth in astonishment.How strong.Sieg-san, is that magic?Yes, it's probably magic that only increases her speed to the limit But at such a tremendous speed, it shouldn't be possible to control it with the kinetic vision of the Humans butBut just now, AliceYes, I can't believe it. She's probably stronger than Lili. She's clearly beyond the limits of humanity.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comAlice's combat prowess was unbelievable, even to Sieglinde, who had a large amount of experience as a warrior.From the tip of his astonished gaze, Alice quietly muttered to Sigma.There sure are lots of high-ranking demons that have these so-called peerage ranks. People like you who're overconfident in their own abilities who never doubted that their own ability would be surpassed by a Human makes a really good prey.Indeed, I need to change my perception of you. You are strong Anyone who can't keep their head straight would be no match for you.That's right~~However, you talked too much. And now, I've finally calmed myself down.It could be said that Sigma had been caught off guard because he thought of Alice as an inferior opponent just now and that last exchange and Alice's words helped him regain his composure.Considering the point of pure combat power, Alice was originally greatly inferior to Sigma except for her speed.If a solid attack was made on her while he remains calm and alert, it would be difficult for her to win.However, hearing Sigma's words, Alice doesn't seem to be flustered at all, as a smile appears on her mouth.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comThere's no problem It's already over after all.What did you say?Since we're at it, how about I tell you what they call me over there.While saying that, Alice throws the knife on her feet.Thereupon, Sigma's feetthe shadows under them turned into countless spear-like shapes and skewered Sigma's body.Ghaa!? Haaaahh!?Shadow Edge Well, you don't really have to remember it.As the skewered Sigma falls down on the ground, she turns away while muttering with disinterest.Her opponent's a Baron-level high-ranked Demon He should be one of the high ranks in the Demon Realm, but in the end, Alice held the pace from start to finish, and he was defeated without being able to make a single move.Well~~ That was quite a formidable opponent.For more, visit lightnove_lworld_.comYou were actually amazing huh, Alice.Eh?
